Well today I start a new school year in a new classroom in a new school. After 14 years as a teacher in an alternative middle school program, I start work as a math/science/technology teacher in a vocational high school. The AMS classroom had 6-8 students, to whom I taught 5 subjects. The vocational school program has 43 students, but I will only have to teach 2 subjects. I am looking forward to introducing Web 2.0 tools to the vocational classroom and the shop classes. The students split their day between academics and vocational classes. The academic teachers want to work with the vocational teachers to support each other and the students.
I will also be teaching a series of workshops on wikis. The LPVEC wants to begin using more Web 2.0 tools to support the academic and vocational education of students. It will be interesting to see how many ways we can use wikis in the vocational programs.
